“…In addition, according to Ardila [2], individuals' attentional control processes are primary (they emerge by the child's 1st year), include meta-cognitive control mechanisms and lead to improvements in the ability to inhibit overlearned behavior (inhibitory control of behavior). Furthermore, attention was found to be adaptable and subjected to affective states (motivation).…”

“…"The definition of executive function usually includes the concept of controlling attention, mental flexibility, goal-directed behavior and the ability to anticipate the consequences of one's own behavior. Moreover, the concept of self-awareness and the idea that the frontal lobes serve as a manager and programmer of human psychological processes (metacognition) are also included in this definition" (Ardila, 2016) [1].…”

There is a bidirectional relation between one’s executive functioning abilities and problem solving skills as they are both based on self-control. “Hot” and “cold” executive functions account for individuals’ cognitive control and emotional regulation. In addition, problem solving is tied to metacognitive awareness processes, necessary for applying executive function skills in goal setting and decision making situations. Therefore, individuals’ overall cognitive flexibility and emotional regulation can promote the quality, quantity and speed of decision-making processes, such as adaptable and creative information processing as well as efficiency in setting and prioritizing goals. Moreover, individuals with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder and individuals with other comorbid states, such as older adults, individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) can counterbalance their cognitive control deficits through enhancing their problem solving skills. In addition, an advanced research in the bidirectional relation between executive function and problem solving skills could develop a comprehensive methodology for training and assessing self-regulatory processes.
